KEEPING AN E-JOURNAL

submitted by: Niki

journalMy boyfriend and I have been together for a little over 4 years and have had a long distance relationship for almost 3 years now. He attends college on the east coast while I attend college on the west, but we’re both from Hawaii and see each other for winter and summer breaks. Throughout the semester things can get kinda hectic and it’s kinda costly to talk on the phone.

So this past summer we decided to right an e-journal every night before going to bed. We both realize that we miss a lot of each other’s college lives because we’re far apart, but the e-journal will keep us in tune, not only on how many things made us think of each other, but also with what we did during the day, how classes went, the kinds of people we ran into and the types of events that happened.

It is a great and inexpensive way (since both our colleges offer free internet access and you can get a web e-mail address almost anywhere) to keep the spark in our long distance relationship throughout the semester and to tide us over until we can be in each other’s arms again.
